PREPPER'S SURVIVAL HACKS: 50 DIY PROJECTS

This guide features easy-to-follow picture tutorials on how to build your DIY survival projects (50 in all!). One of the prepping movement’s most prolific authors, Jim Cobb, has taught readers how to fortify their homes, survive for weeks without electricity, and prepare themselves financially for years of economic turmoil. Now he turns to some of his favorite DIY projects to teach his thousands of fans how to create cheap, easy, and ingenious tools to help survive any natural disaster.

Using step-by-step black-and-white photographs, Cobb shows how to turn a couple of plastic fast food straws and dryer lint into a 100 percent waterproof and incredibly easy-to-use fire starter. In another project, he shows how a few boards and an old storm window can be turned into a simple cold-frame greenhouse that can extend a garden’s growing season.

Down-and-dirty survival techniques teach readers how a couple of plastic soda bottles and an old credit card can easily become the world’s smallest fishing kit. Have a couple of keys from an apartment vacated long ago? Cobb shows how they can easily become makeshift arrowheads. He also explains how to turn an old hardcover book into a hidden safe for small valuables and cash.
